Happy New Year, Happy New Shower, Happy New Night Rainbow.

Happy New Year! We continue to do the air-sea interaction observation over the Indian Ocean. Till 00 UTC (07LST) on 1 January 2018, we have completed 225 casts of the TurboMAP. I felt the MJO arrival from the night rainbow under a search light (see photo) due to the heavy rainfall over 100 mm/hour at the beginning of this new year. The Rising Sun is always in our hearts.
